david plugging his ears to not listen to bags confessing his love to ida because he thought it too private and sacred 😭😭😭😭😭 my dearest boy how i'll miss you

"we've loved each other, thank god; i've been first in your life, and you in mine."

david being nervous about frank's response to his letter (the first, more sincere part) is so endearing 😭

and frank with all his brilliant hardness had such a tender skin, a skin often unimaginably tender to david's robustness.

his mind was no longer the mind of one who walked with his hand in another's, and swallowed with open mouth whatever was given him.

there's some jolly good ideas about translation and how changing the language can change the entire context of the phrase itself - and it's so very interesting to think about

slice of life stories are so incredibly entertaining sometimes, just the uneventful mundanity of them

god, david is such an idiot

bags drinking away his pining for david is hilarious to me (and so is the way david tried to control his drinking by matching how much bags consumes to his own glass lmfao)

"i haven't got anything else to tell you," he said, "except that you have come back."
"i can't think of anything else," said frank.
